Congress reconvened Wednesday night to finish certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, defying an assault from rioters who sought to derail the constitutional proceedings at the urging of President Donald Trump.

“We must and we will show to the country — and indeed to the world — that we will not be diverted from our duty,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. “To those who engaged in the gleeful desecration of this, our temple of democracy, justice will be done.”
